[Sexual violence: necessity of multidisciplinary management].
In the 300,000 inhabitant city-area of Nancy (France), admission of women victims of sexual violence follows a special procedure. That has been jointly set by the Justice Department, Police and Emergency Rooms of both the Maternite Régionale and the University General Hospital. Nevertheless, we have recently conclude the management and follow-up of victims were generally not good enough. Early management of the psychological shock and formation of all intervening parties have to be improved. As both a gynecologist attached to the Maternite regionale and the Commission for the Fight of violence against women to take initiatives aimed at increasing public awareness (congresses ...). These initiatives have driven to the creation of a meeting place where a multidisciplinary team takes care of victims and leads talking groups including both victims and authors of violence. The organization of such a multidisciplinary management team is slow and difficult. Strong political will and compassion are needed to achieve that task. In the process, power and knowledge of every member of the team have continuously to be called into question.
